Need help - Biology/Biotech schools in northeast

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I need help with a college list. My daughter wants to major in a biology related field (Biology, Biotech, Biomedical Engineering, etc). Northeast, (we live in NH). </p>

<p>Class rank: 6/504
GPA: 4.0 (unweighted)
SAT: 1850 (will retake a couple more times to get this up)
Track team 4 years
honor society
part time job
lots of other stuff</p>

<p>She wants a college with great school spirit. She would like to run track if possible (not sure if she's fast enough for Division 1). Schools with great merit aid would help significantly.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Bucknell has Biology major, Biomedical Engineering minor. Maybe Colgate for Biology. Syracuse, maybe. Boston College.</p>

3

<p>I'm applying to Colgate and Amherst to go into Molecular Biology. I highly recommend the second because of its 5-college consortium. As a female, she might be interested in Wellesly too.</p>

4

<p>what about carnegie mellon? they have a great program for what shes interested in!</p>

5

<p>Biology is one of the most popular majors at Mount Holyoke in MA. Don't forget Swarthmore (does PA count as Northeast?)</p>

6

<p>Might look at Holy Cross-strong biology program, lower Div.1 track, and great school spirit.</p>

7

<p>Good suggestions so far. Anyone else? BTW, we're willing to venture out a little farther than the Northeast for the right fit, or for stellar financial aid.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>University of Rochester
Case Western</p>

<p>I'm really into biochem and Dartmouth is one of the few schools that offer this major...I dunno but their bio department seems pretty good</p>
